You can activate this by 1. going to the control panel on your vista machine, make sure you are in classic view(2) double click the mouse icon. (3) From here you will select the "Device Settings" tab, (4) make sure your Synaptic Pointing device is highlighted and then click the settings button located directly below the "port" column, this will bring up properties for this device.(5) With all categories in the left hand column collapsed, select "Virtual Scrolling" here is where you will find the box that needs to be checked to enable vertical and/or horizontal scrolling. (6) make sure the "Enable Vertical Scrolling" box is checked. (7) don't forget to hit apply! I hope this helped some people. I am using a HP dv7 so your menu may look a little different. Happy holidays.

Different laptop uses different type of touch pads. If your's an old laptop, that may not have a scroll function by simply sliding your finger through the right edge(top to bottom and vise versa) to scroll to a desired level. A new laptop has all these functions. Go to the control panel click on classic view in the left pane in case of xp and vista. Then you can see the mouse icon.click on it and select the device setting tab. then click on setting and a new window will open.There click on scrolling and click on one finger scrolling you can see the scrolling properties. tick mark the vertical and horizontal scrolling boxes. click apply then ok and close all the way. Thats it All done. Hope it helps

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the pointer to go. Use the TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone (right edge of the touchpad), slide your finger up or down over the lines.

NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPadbefore moving it to the scroll zone.

Have you checked on the HP support site for updates to your computer? I am not sure if this is what you need, but it may help. Otherwise, check all the available downloads/updates for your model and update your system accordingly.

the problem is with your drivers only:-
1. you dont have installed the drivers for ur touchpad if is that so, then it is not properly installed . pls uninstall old drivers reinstall the touchpad drivers and restart the system and the problem will be resolved. doing this will reset all the changed values that you don't know and load the default values which will work fine.
2. Secondly you can also try by going in control panel and go to tochpad settings , reset to default. it will work. but first one is best thing

Whatever be the laptop, HP bundles the necessary drives in the C drive under the folder SwSetup. You'll find the touchpad driver in this folder. For the steps in installing and making the touch pad work followhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00678194&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3860674

Assuming you're talking about the touchpad, this can be enabled and disabled in your control panel.

Open your start menu, then Control panel, if it's not in classic mode click the Classic View link in the top-left corner. Now open the mouse icon and select the Device settings tab(red logo), now click the settings select by single clicking the synaptics touch pad from the list. click the settings button below the list and select the "Virtual Scrolling" section.

You will see two check boxes, the First enables the marked off vertical scrolling feature, the second enables a horizontal scrolling feature that may not be marked on the mousepad but runs along the bottom of the pad and works the same way.

Click OK, on both windows and close the comtrol panel.

Hope this helps FixYa, if not reply back with any additional info you can,
